First of all...

Replying to a digest email the way you did is a very good way to be
ignored, because your reply is buried in the middle of many emails
that have already been read.

It also gives the impression that you are either too lazy or too
self-important to consider the time of the others on the list, who
have to search for your answer. Don't do that: that's not the
impression you want to give.

Now...

I *do* know, that's why I told you it's too difficult. Perhaps you
feel I'm underestimating you, because of your slip-up in terminology,
but let me assure you that this is not the case. This would be a
difficult project for an exceptional, experienced student.

We can only accept a small fraction of the proposals we receive - if
we are even fortunate enough to be selected again - and given the
choice between an ambitious, but unrealistic, proposal that seems
likely to fail, and a more modest, but realistic, proposal that seems
likely to succeed, we, as mentors, will typically choose the latter.

So your choice is this: pick a more realistic project, or make us
believe that *you* can make the project realistic.
